Chromium adsorption from petroleum refinery wastewater using biocomposites

In this study, microbially synthesized biosurfactants were immobilized on mesoporous activated carbon and the biocomposites were further utilized for chromium removal from petroleum refinery wastewater. Due to the acidic and lactone rings on the E. coli biosurfactant, which confers improved hydrophi...
